    New in their menu! Pizza with hair
    April L.

    Giovanni's use to be bomb, back in the days when it was an Italian restaurant! Now it's an Italian & Mexican food, I don't see how those two foods go well together. This is the last time I ever step place in this restaurant: 1) it was so hot inside 2) the pizza came with a special ingredient ( HAIR) hopefully it was facial hair and not something else! 3) Not enough cheese and the quality of the dough wasn't good. Guess you get what you pay for, this restaurant is Cash only!!!! ***If I could give them zero stars I would****

    1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni

    As a pizza connoisseur I can tell you that this is the best pizza out here...the sauce was absolutely amazing!!!!

    Interior of dining room

    CLEAN , NICE STAFF , GREAT FOOD & DRINKS They also carry Ice Cream, deserts & Juices that are all fresh food. Great pricing and big meal portions Thank You!

    The Chorizo Fest Pizza is bomb! Loaded with Chorizo, Onions, Cilantro and Avocado! instead of tomato sauce they put green salsa!
    Jonathan L.

    i had been wanting to try this chorizo fest pizza and it was better than expected! Everything is good here but my favorite is the Meatball or Turkey Torpedo. there is also a hidden menu pizza its very good its called The Hamburger Pizza its loaded with cheese and hamburger meat. Cash Only***

    Second review. On a hot day, my son was greeted with a scoop of ice cream. Today, my food that I phoned in wasn't ready so I got a soda. The food is fresh and delicious. I will be a customer for life!!!

    Spaghetti with meatballs, etc (before eating..okay I had to eat one piece of the garlic bread)

    NY style pizza spot that sells by the slice as well as full pies. They have classic combos…read moreavailable as well as some more creative slices. At night, it's kinda hard to see from the main street. And it gets overshadowed by some of the bars nearby. But it's not too hard to find. The guys here are friendly and the vibe of this place kinda has a punk rock feel to it. The space is not large, but they have a few seating/standing area areas to enjoy your pizza or you can take the pizza to go. A buddy of mine told me about this place and said it was his favorite New York style pizza spot in Orange County (and he lived in NY for a large part of his life). I have to agree. This is really good pizza. I got a slice of the pastrami and pickle. As well as a slice of the pepperoni and jalapeño. Both were crisp and had good structure. Really good flavor combinations. Definitely hope to come back soon

    Convenient location right in downtown Santa Ana. Went to the Frida Cinema nearby and finished the…read morenight with some pizza. On the staff recommendation, ordered the White Ferrari and the Hawaiian. Staff were super friendly and knowledgable about the toppings. The dough and thin crust were IMMACULATE! Some of the best I've ever had even on the east coast. That crunchy crust paired with a nice chew. Rare to find out here. And yet...both pizzas were just super bland. The Ham and Pineapple on the pizza seemed to have little flavor. The Ham just slightly salty, the pineapple with a vague essence that didn't really scream out loud. Both pizzas barely had sauce. Couldn't make out any tomato flavor on the Hawaiian. The Ferrari apparently had a garlic sauce but couldn't discern ang garlicky flavor. Even the ricotta was like eating nothing. Very disappointing considering they nailed the hard part! My guess is just low quality/old ingredients? I'm willing to come back to try another slice flavor before giving up on them.

I'm glad that this place doesn't take their customers'orders too long. The food here tastes like the meals from Zito's pizza in the Orange Circle. This place is kind of small and I don't mind it. The workers are kind and I even asked if I could get a bag so that I could give my pizza bunnies to my younger brother. My brother absolutely loves the taste of the pizza bunnies I offered him. I'm also excited to be going to the Fullerton location shortly after that location opens. I can't wait to try out the food there next to the Barnes and Nobles.

We placed a catering order for a birthday celebration. One dish, pasta primavera, is described as "angel hair, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, basil, olive oil, garlic. This dish we have ordered many many times, specifically because we have people with tomato acidity concerns. This dish came doused in marinara sauce. When we called Bari, they claimed it's because we ordered a side of meatballs. The meatball was a side dish! Why would you change our entire order for a side dish? What if my order was fettuccine Alfredo with a side of meatballs?! Also maybe call us to explain? Bari offered a $25 store credit. Would you order again if a restaurant handles your food order as such, never acknowledging the error? So no I don't want a store credit. We asked for a credit card chargeback, they denied it. We asked for the credit in cash, denied. Basically said too bad take it or leave it. Look. The dish was made wrong. I'm not even requesting a full refund on a $150 order. We accepted a tiny $25 for a totally wrong dish. You can't just pull $25 out of your pocket to fix the error? Oh and they blamed that it was our fault to not deal with it the day of. When we had 100+ people at the event. Not cool guys.
